Dimples should stay on your face, not your thighs. Caused by puckering in your subcutaneous fat (that's the thin layer right beneath your skin), cellulite can be tough to target. With the right products, however, you can diminish its appearance.

Sometimes, puffiness is just a side-effect of water retention. Get rid of the bloated look by combining a good diet with a massage or three. First, add a natural diuretic like green tea, black currants, lemon or celery to your meals. These will encourage your body to lose the extra water.

For the ultimate no-fuss trick to looking thin, the magic of makeup has your back. A chiselled face makes you look instantly slimmer, and multiplies the effect of the previous three steps. First, pick a finely-milled bronzer like Giorgio Armani Sun Fabric Sheer Bronzer . Then, buff shadows into the hollows of your cheeks and along your jawline and hairline with Make Up For Ever Double Ended Sculpting Brush . This adds the depth and definition that only superfit people have, and tricks the eye into thinking you're more toned.
